Angry Birds Pizzas

My kids saw this Angry Birds Pizza I had pinned on Pinterest (here) and decided that I should make it for them for dinner.  After making excuses a few times I finally decided to give it a try. 

First of all, I am so bummed that I did not take pics BEFORE I baked.  SOme of the details that I spent so much time on were lost because, DUH, cheese melts!  Ooops! :) 

They did still turn out pretty cute and they vaguely resemble Angry Birds, so I will take it as a learning experience!  The kids loved them and thought they were awesome and that is all that matters anyway. 


I made them on pita bread and used basically the same ingredients for all 6.  The white part of the eyes are made from circles of white cheddar cheese and the black for the eyes and eyebrows is Nori.  I used carrots for the beaks and feathers.

To cut out the circles from the Nori I used my circle punches for scrapbooking.   It actually worked really well!

The Black bird is made from black olives.  It's a good thing I love olives on pizza and I have been craving them!  The kids were not interested in this one!

The White birds are just cheese.




The Red birds are made with mini pepperonis


I made the Yellow bird with cheddar cheese.


I wish you could have seen them before all the cute details got melted (especially the black one)  I will have to try making them again.

It was a fun lunch and the kids enjoyed it.  It was actually quick and easy too with the pita crusts.

Homemade Ornaments

Every year I try to have the kids make Christmas Ornaments for all the Grandmas and Aunts and Uncles. We usually make Snowflakes, snowmen, or icicles. This year we are super busy, so I wanted something quick and easy. We ended up getting some Fimo Clay and cutting out snowflakes then decorating them with beads. Then we popped them in the oven for 15 minutes to harden them up. I had some regular clay too, in more colors so we thought we could use it as well, but when we put it in the oven it melted and ruined my cookie sheet. Oops!! Oh well, you learn something new every day! Here are some pictures of the fun.

The Big Oops

Oops!! Sadly most of the ones Ady made were on that pan! She wanted pink snowflakes and the pink all melted. After that she mostly lost interest. The other sad part is this was one of our favorite baking sheets for making gingerbread . :(

I think they turned out pretty well
